Bible Question (short): Roll your works to the Lord |
Question (full): The word "commit" in Proverbs 16:3 is literally "roll" as in the Amplified version above. What does it mean to roll your works to the Lord? How does our understanding of that word "roll" relate to the next verse where it says that everything has been made for His purpose? How active is God in our ways and plans (relating these verses to Romans 8:28 for instance)? Does He make even our enemies to be at peace with us? (See Proverbs 16:7). Romans 8:28, "And we know that God causes all things to work together for good to those who love God, to those who are called according to His purpose." Proverbs 16:4, NASB, "The Lord has made everything for its own purpose,..." Proverbs 16:4, NKJ, "The Lord has made all for Himself,..." Does the Amplified say it well, "He will cause your thoughts to become agreeable to His will." From the heart, Ray |
